An Historic Meeting—and Much More The first time there was an annual meeting of The American Jersey Cattle Club, on April 5, 1869, it was held at Astor House, the luxury hotel built on Broadway Street in New York City by America’s first multi-millionaire, John Jacob Astor. The roll of members stood at 73; cash in the treasury was $542.19. One hundred and forty years later, the net assets of the American Jersey Cattle Association exceed $1.3 million, another $1.6 million is held in investments for research and youth development, the roll of active adult members is 2,200-plus, and there will be another annual meeting in New York—on July 4 in Syracuse, a key crossroads city for commerce and transportation since the days of the Erie Canal. At the 141st meeting, and also at the 51st annual meeting of National All-Jersey Inc. which precedes it by two days on July 2, there will be elections of Directors and the President, reports from the officers about the record-setting performance of the USJersey organizations in 2008, and the presentation of awards to individuals who have brought distinction to themselves, and the Jersey breed, through their endeavors in the Jersey business. The youth schedule is shaping up to be one of the best in memory. The TalkJersey contest has been expanded to include recorded presentations in the judging. And from what we’ve heard, there are adults who are wishing they were kids again just so they can take part in the Jersey Youth Challenge, and especially the excursion to Cornell University. This is just the beginning of an extraordinary program centering on the theme “Jersey Worlds Combine in 2009.” For the first time since 1968, the annual meeting of the World Jersey Cattle Bureau joins those of the AJCA and NAJ. As this is written, delegates and guests from 14 countries have made reservations to be in Syracuse through July 4, making this the Jersey networking event of the year. Syracuse will also be the place to be to get the latest scoop on what’s happening in Jersey beef research and Jersey genomics. After the NAJ annual meeting adjourns on Thursday, July 2, Dr. Chad Mueller and Garrett Tschida from Oregon State University will take the stage to discuss findings from their NAJ-funded study of growth and development in Jersey steer calves. This is the most ambitious and certainly may 2009
most intensive research project on this topic financed by the USJersey organizations to date. Starting with 4-month old calves in the fall of 2007, Mueller and Tschida separated them into groups to be raised on diets at two different energy levels. For more than a year, they recorded the daily feed intake of every steer. Every 30 days they weighed each animal, measured its skeletal growth and used ultrasound to record changes in backfat depth, marbling and ribeye muscle area. At harvest last November, carcass data (weight, backfat, ribeye area, kidney-pelvic-heart fat and USDA quality and yield grades) were collected. The results of this study have been long awaited. The presentation of findings and the conclusions reached by the researchers will provoke lively discussion. Then because developments in genomics continue to move “faster than a speeding bullet,” a session devoted to that topic will be added to the Annual Meeting schedule published in this issue. If you want to know what’s happened since the April evaluations—but more importantly, what’s in store for the future— plan to have your breakfast with the staff in the Huron room at the DoubleTree Hotel at 7:00 a.m. on Friday, July 3. If all of this weren’t enough, the Syracuse meeting will also be the debut of the North American Jersey Cheese Awards, a showcase competition of cheeses and butters made only from Jersey milk. The call for entries, published in this issue (see page 25), has created quite a buzz among artisan cheesemakers and media. The contest is the second phase of development for the World Jersey Cheese Awards, the first breed-specific international cheesemaking competition held in Jersey last year. Maitre fromager, educator and industry marketing consultant Kathy Guidi of Toronto will head the top-notch judging team. In addition to announcing the contest award winners on the evening of July 3 at Sycamore Hill Gardens, Guidi will talk about the speciality cheese business and outline a vision of its future. Any of these activities would make it worth your time to attend the 2009 Annual Meetings. As a complete program, it’s not to be missed. “Jersey Worlds Combine” in Syracuse, New York from July 1 to 4.

potential progeny test bulls for Genex/CRI received their first genomic evaluations in April and August 2008, with slightly different results. This was to be expected, Hodorff noted. “After a bull is genomic tested, his evaluation is not going to be cemented or set in stone.” “We all know that we have slight changes in proofs each run.” The population of cows and bulls on which the evaluation is based will change from genetic evaluation to genetic evaluation. As well, when an animal grows up and begins to have performance information of its own, this will contribute to the genetic evaluation. Bottom line, according to Hodorff, “Cows change; bulls change.” For the Jersey breeder who has funds to test just one individual, Spielman and Hodorff concur—start with a member of the best cow family. “You all have cow families or individual cows that you thought ‘she’s a good cow but doesn’t quite hit the radar screen,’” Hodorff remarked. That would be the cow or cow family that I would test to satisfy my own curiosity, she concluded. “In our case, we took our best cow families and chose the top eight JPI heifers out of the herd,” noted Spielman. “We figured they would be the ones that would change the most.” Adding Power to the Prediction Dr. Kent Weigel, dairy geneticist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Genetics Programs Administrator with the National Association of Animal Breeders, and Cari Wolfe, Director of Research and Genetic Program Development at the AJCA, spoke about the science of genomics. In the past, three pieces of information— pedigree, performance of the animal itself, and performance of the animal’s progeny—have been used to identify an animal’s true genetic merit. Now DNA can now be added to the mix, said Wolfe. “Genomics adds power to the prediction.” “Heifer genotyping will not only lead to increased accuracy of selection, but increased reliabilities over parent averages,” Wolfe reported. “Genomic PTAs are now upwards of 55%.” The same increases in reliabilities are found with cow genotyping. A quick scan of cows on the Top 200 JPI Cows found some pushing reliabilities of 80% with
Q & A on Genomic Testing
Following the presentations by Weigel, Wolfe, Spielman and Hodorff at the recent genomic seminar, the four took questions from the audience on genomics.
Forty years ago, my college professors taught me that production was attributed 75% to environment and 25% to genetics. Does genomics increase the odds in favor of genetics in terms of increased production? Weigel: We know that health traits like fertility and somatic cell score have heritabilities in the 5-10% range, production traits hover around 2530%, and type traits range from about 15-40%. Though there is an environmental component to each of these traits, heritability is also impacted by the way we measure the trait. If we do a better job of measuring a trait and have more accurate information, heritability will increase. For example, if you determine fertility to be days open, heritability may be 5%. If you evaluate animals in a controlled environment where you can measure progesterone and determine fertility to be days from calving to when they start to cycle, heritability might increase to 30-40%. Once we measure a trait and evaluate animals, we can change it by genetic selection. That will be the same under traditional selection or genomics. One of the nice things about genomics is that we see gains at a very young age for traits that we don’t normally see until the animal is relatively old, like productive life. The reliability gain for traits like this may be even larger than for traits we already do a good job of measuring. Hodorff: Heritability can increase as we improve identification. Parentage verification is certainly one of those things that can be improved through the use of genomics. How do genetic base changes affect GPTA? Weigel. The bases are the same with genomic PTAs as they were all along, so should not change. You are going back and including data from older animals to estimate these marker’s affects and adapting for base changes along the way. How are genomics being used internationally? Weigel: Most of the leading dairy countries are doing something with genomics. The U.S., Canada, New Zealand, the Netherlands and a number of European countries have been most
aggressive. Some alliances are being formed because other countries see there is power in having a large number of bulls, as in the U.S. This need for a large population has forced some countries to work together, especially for colored breeds. The Illumina Bovine SNP 50 Genotyping Chip is being used in most countries, but not all. The Dutch have developed their own chip with about the same number of markers. Even though the genotypes are not necessarily being shared, the information is. We’re all trying to do the same thing and learn from each other as we go. Just as genomics has been discussed at producer meetings, it dominates scientific meetings too. We’re essentially relearning everything we learned in genetics class 10, 20 and 30 years ago and doing it all from a genomics context. What progress is being made with ISAG to make SNPs the industry standards so discovery can be more fully utilized? Wolfe: International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) is the governing body that decides what methodology will be used throughout the world to recognize parentage verification. Currently microsatellite technology is being used around the world to establish parent verification. Though genomic testing does offer more promise than current methods, not everyone is able to use the new technology. As soon as it can be adopted around the world, we’ll see movement towards it. But that will take some time. Do you see genomic testing data remaining public? Will genomics somehow shift breeding decisions from owners and breeders to industry or corporations like in the swine and poultry industries? Hodorff: I hope we are able to continue having things open. As we negotiate contracts with A.I. companies, it is prudent that we producers read the fine print on the contract to ensure that access to such information is spelled out. Weigel: I think the fact that USDA has been involved with this from the start in this country insures that the information is going to be available and genomic PTAs available.

would need to genotype 500 bull calves to get 125 progeny test bulls. “If you want to be aggressive and test 2,000-3,000. . .you can drive genetic progress more rapidly,” commented Weigel. “And you don’t need to rely on someone to progeny test all your bulls to get genetic progress.”
genotyping added to regular performance information, Wolfe commented.

Though g e n e t i c g a i n s w i t h both heifers are of terrific genetic merit, the genomic evaluations genotyping according to are noticably different. Weigel. Continue Information Sharing In the past, it has been difficult to increase “Dairy has been unique in agriculture the number of progeny test bulls that are in that we have had a lot of openness of sampled, and thus increase genetic gain, information,” commented Hodorff. because there has been a limited number “Throughout most of our careers we of cows available as mates for progeny test have seen dairy producers, universities bulls, Weigel explained. and industry work together with USDA “Now there is opportunity to change sharing information,” she continued. this,” Weigel noted. “Genetic progress “I know we are coming into a world is more a function of how many young where proprietorship of information is animals are genotyped than how many are getting more and more important.

At this rate, the industry

Other Breeders’ Experiences with Genotyping Genotyping is the newest opportunity dairy producers have to capitalize on superior genetics. At least two dozen Jersey producers to date have requested genotyping kits from the AJCA and are taking a proactive step to characterize the genes of their best animals. One of these genotyping kits was requested for Pearlmont Impuls Daffy, a four-year-old cow who crossed the auction block at The All American Jersey Sale this past fall. Both her consignors, William and Gwen Pearl, Barnett, Vt., and her new owners, Bruce Roos, Kara Hale and Sunset Canyon, Cloverdale, Ore., have reaped the rewards of her test results. Though “Daffy” was obviously a quality individual, being one of the top five sellers at one of the breed’s most prestigious sales, her true genetic potential wasn’t discovered until she was genotyped in December 2008. “Daffy’s” genomic evaluations far exceeded her traditional evaluations, especially for Jersey Performance Index (JPI), which increased from +244 JPI to +303 JPI, and net merit dollars (NM$), which moved from +479 NM$ to +592 NM$. Her evaluation for productive life improved from +3.2 to +5.7 and final score moved from +1.2 to +1.6. With the release of her first official genomic evaluation in April 2009, she ranks eighth for JPI with an index of +289 and a reliability of 62%. “We just had a feeling about her,” said Kara Hale. “Since the genotyping, there has been a lot of buzz here about her,” Hale continued. “She is going on her second flush next week to ‘Headline’ and there is interest in her first flush to ‘Alexander.’” “Daffy’s” breeders have also benefitted from the genotyping efforts. “After ‘Daffy’s’ numbers came out, there was a flurry of inquiries about her and her dam from breeders and studs,” said Gwen Pearl. “They wanted to know if she had any sons on the ground or if there was anything else available from the family.” “Based on the results the studs got from her sons, we have ordered genotyping kits for the six heifers we still have here at the farm as well,” commented Pearl. “Some of them may be potential bull mothers.” The whirlwind of activity that genotyping of “Daffy” brought for these Jersey breeders will be played out across the country in the coming months as the dairy industry adopts this technology. Jersey breeders should be prepared to protect their best interests by reading the fine print in contracts, carefully considering marketing opportunities for their top genetics and incorporating genomics in herd management.

All American Jersey Show Judges Named
The judges have been selected for The 57th All American Jersey Shows, sponsored by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) of Reynoldsburg, Ohio. The largest exhibition of Registered Jersey™ cattle in the world, the three shows of The All American will be held November 7, 8 and 9, 2009, in conjunction with the North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, Ky. The judge for The All American Jersey Show on Monday, November 9 will be Brian Sayles, Paris, Ont. This will be his second stint in the open show ring, following his appearance as the judge in 2001. Sayles also judged the National Jersey Jug Futurity in 1991. He has officiated at the World Dairy Expo for the Central National Jersey Show, the Pennsylvania All-American Dairy Show and the Canadian Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. Sayles has judged many state fairs in the U.S. as well as national shows in Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Japan, Australia and the United Kingdom. Sayles, along with his sons, Bruce and Jeff, milk a herd of 80 Jerseys and Holsteins on their home farm, Bridon Jerseys. He is a pastpresident of both the Ontario and Jersey Canada associations. His consultant will be Hank Van Exel, Lodi, Calif. Wayne Sliker, St. Paris, Ohio, will return to Freedom Hall to officiate the 56th National Jersey Jug Futurity. Sliker is well-known in the dairy industry as a judge and Brown Swiss breeder. He and his wife, Connie, own and operate Top Acres Brown Swiss and Modern Associates Cattle Sales. His judging assignments have taken him many places, including 40 national shows and the 2007 All American Jersey Show. Sliker is an accomplished international judge as well, officiating in Australia, Japan, Colombia, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica and Brazil. His consultant will be Chris Lahmers, Marysville, Ohio. The National Jersey Jug Futurity is the oldest and richest class for dairy cattle. Premiums for the 2009 show are estimated at over $10,000. The judge for The All American Junior Jersey Show will be Herby D. Lutz, Chester, S.C. This will be the first time that he has judged the junior show, having previously judged the National Jersey Futurity in 2000.

of polled genetics and explain why the IGENITY SNP test was approved as the method for designating the homozygous polled genes in Registered Jerseys.
The genotyping era has brought forth the latest registration name suffix—one for Jerseys that are homozygous polled. These animals will now be registered by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) using the suffix “PP” at the end of their registration names. The organization’s board of directors approved use of the IGENITY® SNP test, which evaluates DNA, for determining the polled/horned status of an animal in March 2009. The new “PP” suffix will be used concurrently with the suffix “P,” which has been used in the past to identify polled animals and will continue to be used. It should be noted that the suffix “P” does not qualify genotype (homozygous versus heterozygous). It simply indicates that the animal is naturally polled based on visual observation when it is old enough for the breeder to make a determination. In this month’s Jersey Jargon column, we’ll take a closer look at the basics
What is Polled? The term “polled” is used to describe animals that do not develop horns. Naturally polled animals are an asset because they do not have to be dehorned—a practice that most dairy producers dislike and one that has come under fire by animal activists in recent years. Though the polled gene is desirable, it is less frequent and thus most animals are horned. Naturally polled animals account for just 13 of every 1,000 animals registered with the AJCA today. Though it is infrequent, the polled gene is dominant when it is paired with a horned gene. Thus, animals that are heterozygous for the polled trait (one polled gene and one horned gene) will be naturally polled. When a heterozygous polled animal is mated to a horned animal, half of their progeny will be polled and half will be horned. Animals that are homozygous for the polled trait (two polled genes) will yield progeny that are all polled, regardless of the status

of the mate. Jersey breeders should keep in mind that a homozygous polled animal can only result from the mating of two polled animals. It is not possible to determine whether an animal born without horns is homozygous for the trait through visual observation. In the past, this was determined through a progeny test, whereby eight of eight offspring born without horns were determined to have a homozygous polled sire or dam. Now, this can be accomplished by evaluating groups of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the animal’s DNA with the IGENITY SNP test. The AJCA and Merial, the company that markets the test, worked together to validate the test. Thirty-nine polled bulls with two polled parents, their progeny and the dams of the progeny were studied, along with three young bulls currently being sampled. Two of the progeny test bulls (Fairway Mygent Dallas-PP and SR Mygent Arrowhead-PP-ET) and a dozen other Registered Jersey bulls have been determined to be homozygous polled to date using the test. A Jersey-specific test is required because it appears that the group of SNPs that determine the polled status of Jersey cattle is different than those that control the polled status of other bovine species. While tests have been developed for several beef breeds and Holsteins, they have not been effective in predicting the polled status of Jersey cattle. Ordering the IGENITY SNP Test The identification of homozygous polled animals has potential to advance polled genetics in the Jersey breed. Without doubt, the breed has missed the identification of potential homozygous polled animals through the years because breeders are not always cognizant in looking for the trait and because it cannot be identified at birth. Evaluation of DNA will allow the breed to pinpoint the homozygous polled gene and breed naturally polled cattle. Jersey breeders who wish to test their animals may do so by ordering the IGENITY product directly from Merial at 877/443-6489 or www.Igenity.com. Jersey producers will need to order the IGENITY profile ($35) and the polled/ horned analysis ($85) for a total of $120. Jersey breeders who have questions about registering polled animals should contact Erick Metzger, AJCA Herd Services Manager, at 614/861-3636, ext. 339, or emetzger@usjersey.com. JERSEY JOURNAL

wo cows will be honored for outstanding production on July 4, 2009, during the 141st Annual Meeting of the American Jersey Cattle Association in Syracuse, N.Y. With her most recent lifetime totals for milk, fat and protein, Duncan Hibrite of Family Hill, owned by Ryan A. Lancaster, Ferndale, Wash., has set new all-time lifetime benchmarks for all measures for the second consecutive year. “Hibrite” produced 340,056 lbs. milk, 15,871 lbs. fat and 12,460 lbs. protein in 5,583 days and 12 lactations. She will receive the Ogston Trophy for milk production for the fourth consecutive year and be honored with the High Lawn Trophy for fat production and the Edyvean Farm Trophy for protein production for the third time. Also being recognized in Syracuse will be Mainstream Barkly Jubilee, owned by Randy and Jana Kortus, Lynden, Wash., winner of the President’s Trophy and the Hilmar Cheese Yield Trophy. The 2008 Leading Living Lifetime Production Contest distinguishes cows alive as of December 31, 2008, who produced a minimum of 200,000 lbs. milk, 9,500 lbs. fat or 7,500 lbs. protein. Only DHIR production credits were used to calculate the standings. Twenty-three cows were nominated for the contest. Fourteen of these cows produced lifetime totals greater than 225,000 lbs. milk, six produced more than 11,000 lbs. fat and 10 made totals in excess of 8,000 lbs. protein. As a group, the top 15 in each category averaged 247,317 lbs. milk, 11,303 lbs. fat and 8,649 lbs. protein. The group had daily production averages of 64.2 lbs. milk, 2.91 lbs. fat and 2.21 lbs. protein. For the third consecutive year, “Hibrite” has swept all categories of the AJCA Leading Living Lifetime Production Contest. The Excellent-93% daughter of Highland Magic Duncan, JPI -36*, celebrated her 19 th birthday in early December and added 17,674 lbs. milk, 917 lbs. fat and 688 lbs. protein to her lifetime totals by year-end. She now outdistances her closest competitor by 56,164 lbs. milk, 2,308 lbs. fat and 2,714 lbs. protein. She made her debut among the top 10 places in the lifetime production contest in 2003 ranked fifth for protein, sixth for milk and ninth for fat. By 2005, she had earned (continued to page 56)

Vermont Breeders Gather for Annual Meeting The Vermont Jersey breeders met February 21, 2009, at Hilltop Restaurant, Barre. The annual meeting recognized fellow breeders, offered support for youth of the Jersey breed, and shared optimism with members. Guest speaker, Dan Bauer, Jersey Marketing Service (JMS) Manager, spoke of the tremendous year that 2008 was for cattle sales. As Jerseys are becoming a more relevant force in the dairy industry, more people are taking notice and joining in by purchasing Jerseys. Bauer commended and thanked Brenda Snow, American Jersey Cattle Association-National All-Jersey (AJCANAJ) Area Representative, and the northeast breeders for their efficiency in marketing cattle through high volume public auctions. “This Northeast region of the country has helped to contribute to the Jersey boom,” stated Bauer. “Large groups of profitable Jerseys have been marketed from New England across the nation. Buyers from coast to coast continue to come to the New England sales to supply their demand for both commercial and elite Jersey genetics.” He then went on to share hopeful words to those in attendance concerning the cattle market. “As cattle prices are highly correlated with the milk price, the recent decline in milk has caused for declines in cattle prices,” noted Bauer. “Yet in the Jersey breed, a less significant drop in Jersey cattle markets will be demonstrated as a limited supply of cattle is available. The
supply and demand will continue to be the strength that supports the prices of Jersey cattle through these times. In this buyer’s market, breeders need to encourage the buyer to purchase the most profitable and efficient Jersey possible.” Following Bauer’s expression of thanks and support, AJCA Director, Libby Bleakney, gave an overview of 2008 from the association’s standpoint. Bleakney announced that in the AJCA, unprecedented records were achieved at the end of the year. With the January release of genomic evaluations, she shared the new opportunities that would be available. Higher reliabilities will be achievable with the genomic information and the evaluations will assist with herd management. In the committee reports, Muriel Chamberlin reported on the state show and futurity. She uttered her appreciation to everyone who helped and participated in the show.

Owens, Fremstad, Peterson and Brown Honored at Wisconsin Meeting
Wisconsin Jersey breeders took opportunity to break from a seemingly endless winter and near-record snowfall to honor achievements made by some of their own on March 7, 2009. The annual meeting of the state Jersey organization, hosted by Parish 2 at the Johnstown Community Center near Janesville, also featured a business meeting and industry updates from several guests. Among the guests was Ted Halbach from the University of Wisconsin, who shared news about activities of the university and talked about changes made to the Purebred Dairy Cattle Association scorecard. Other guests were Randy Thompson from the Rock County Extension Service, Ashley Huibregtse, the reining Alice in Dairyland, and representatives of the national Jersey organizations, who collectively relayed accomplishments for the breed’s record performance in 2008. The breed delegation included AJCA Director Chris Sorenson, NAJ Directors, Marion Barlass and Dave Endres, and AJCA-NAJ Field Service Coordinator Kristin Paul. In the awards ceremony, Wilfred Owens, Frederic, was named as the Wisconsin Jersey Breeder of the Year. Owens operates Owens Farms Inc., a REAP herd of 700 milking cows and 650 replacement heifers, with his wife, Linda, his father, Harold, and his brothers, Walter and Roger, and their wives. Of the 17 bulls that Owens Farms has sent to progeny test programs since 1998, a baker’s dozen have been returned to active A.I. service. Included in this group are O.F. Barber Rocket, O.F. Mannix Rebel-ET and O.F. Montana Saber-ET, who have sired a combined total of more than 19,000 registered progeny. Owens Farms is a routine exhibitor at the Wisconsin and Minnesota State Fairs, the Wisconsin State Show, the Wisconsin Spring Spectacular, World Dairy Expo and The All American Jersey Show. The farm bred and exhibited O.F. Lester Ladyslipper, Excellent-94%, who was Grand Champion of The All American Junior Jersey Show in 1996 and Premier Performance Winner of The All American Jersey Show in 1996 and 1998. Owens has been an AJCA Director and member of the All American Show and Sale Committee. Owens Farms has contributed to Project Equity since 1980 and is a donor to the AJCC Research Foundation.

Wilfred was presented with the Wisconsin Distinguished Service Award in 2001. Danielle Brown, Dodgeville, was named as the Wisconsin Junior Jersey Breeder of the Year. The daughter of Mark and Angela Brown, Ma-Brown Jerseys, owns nine Registered Jerseys and has shown five Junior All-Wisconsin winners in her show career. Brown is a freshman at the University of WisconsinMadison majoring in dairy science, with plans to double major in life science communications or political science. This past fall, she won the William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship. The Wisconsin Distinguished Service Award was given to Mike Fremstad, Westby. Fremstad was recognized for his years of service to the local, state and national Jersey organizations. Most recently, Fremstad served two terms as AJCA Director for District 10. Pat Peterson, Viroqua, earned the organization’s award for Jersey Woman of the Year. Peterson and her husband, Dean, and their daughters, Jackie and Alana, operate Peterson Jerseys in west central Wisconsin. Though she works full-time off the farm as Director of the Vernon County Unit on Aging, she is the first to arrive in the barn in the morning and the last to leave at night. Content with responsibilities behind the scenes rather than in the spotlight, Peterson has
worked in the food stand at the Wisconsin Spring Spectacular Show and helped juniors serve food at the accompanying sale for many years. Peterson has also been a 4-H leader, judged many county fairs and organized sewing, knitting and crocheting workshops for juniors and quilting workshops for adults. Production achievements were also recognized for herd averages and individual production in 10 age categories. Hallet Dairy Farm LLC, Casco, received the award for high milk production. The herd owned by Randy and Julia Hallet has a 2008 herd average of 22,801 lbs. milk, 980 lbs. fat and 738 lbs. protein on 38 cows. Killian Jerseys, owned by Steve and Amanda Killian, Blair, was presented with the award for high protein production, with a herd average of 20,797 lbs. milk, 1,071 lbs. fat and 821 lbs. protein on 32 cows. Milk-n-More Jerseys, owned by Ron and Nicolle Wussow, Cecil, took honors for high fat herd.

The herd owned by Tim Bowers, Marion, made the state’s most significant gains in milk and protein production over the previous year’s marks. The Jersey herd increased its production by 3,821 lbs. milk and 134 lbs. protein in 2008 as (continued to page 64)

compared to 2007. D&E Paramount Violet, owned by David Allen, Reedsburg, was again named as the state’s high cow for Jersey Performance Index (JPI). The Very Good88% daughter of Rock Ella Paramount-ET, JPI +158*, carried a JPI of +310 after the January 2009 genetic evaluations and was ranked fourth nationally.

In the junior awards program, Michelle Owens, Frederic, was presented with a trophy and $250 cash award for winning the Wisconsin Youth Achievement Award. Wade Kessenich, de Forest, placed second in the contest and earned a $150 cash award. Both youth will represent the state in the 2008 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest.

Kaila Wussow, Cecil, placed second in the junior division and received a show halter. Jaclyn A. Peterson, Viroqua, was crowned as the new Wisconsin Jersey Queen. Kari Knuth, Osseo, will reign with her as Wisconsin Jersey Princess. Scholarship awards were given to Danielle Brown, Wade Kessenich, Carrie Jo Leum, Viroqua, Jaclyn Peterson and Trisha Stanek, Prairie du Chien. In the business meeting, Bill Barlass, Janesville, asked members to consider fund raising ideas for the 2011 AJCANAJ Annual Meetings, to be hosted by the state at the Kalahari Resort in the Wisconsin Dells. Ideas for potential fund-raisers should be directed to any co-chair of the meeting, which includes Barlass and his wife, Marion, and Mike and Merna Fremstad, Westby, and Dennis Post, Clinton.

Get Transfers In Order For Junior Show Season
A new year, and parents’ thoughts turn to, “What are the kids’ project animals going to be this year?” The next question goes like this: Please advise me as to what steps a junior (under 20 years of age) needs to take in order to show a Jersey at all shows. Can an animal be leased or does the animal need to be transferred into the junior’s ownership? The answer is simple. File a transfer of ownership so that the junior is listed as a Recorded Owner on the registration certificate. Ownership rules vary from state to state. Some do allow leasing. Others allow animals to be registered in the farm name, but require that paperwork be completed and filed certifying that an animal is the junior’s 4-H or FFA project. What about the All American Junior may 2009

Jersey Show, the biggest junior Jersey show of the year? The ownership policy is as follows: Animals must be registered in the Herd Register of the American Jersey Cattle Association or by the Canadian Jersey Cattle Club. The exhibitor must be listed as Recorded Owner on the registration certificate, either (1) as the sole owner or (2) by his/her name in joint ownership. If the joint ownership includes more than one eligible exhibitor, one of them must be declared as the exhibitor during check-in. Animals must be registered and/or transferred to meet one of the above ownership requirements no later
than August 1, 2009. The recording date is the postmark date and will be considered the date of registration and/ or transfer. So, submit the transfer of ownership as soon as you figure out which animals are going to be the projects this year. That one step will save you the effort of researching the exhibitor ownership requirements for all the shows you are considering. A final note: Exhibitors at the All American Junior Jersey Show are also required to be members (junior or lifetime) of the American Jersey Cattle Association. Applications for membership are available online at www.usjersey.com.

U.S. Genetics Top RecordBreaking Bushlea Sale
A Registered Jersey with U.S. breeding was the high-selling individual of a sale hosted by one of Australia’s mostdecorated show herds, Bushlea Jerseys of Leongatha, Victoria. Bushlea Action Fernleaf 5-ET, sired by Forest Glen Avery Action-ET, JPI +167*, crossed the auction block for $12,000 Australian dollars (about $18,600 U.S. dollars) on March 3, 2009, and helped the sale to post the country’s highest-average in breed history at $3,943. “Action Fernleaf ” was purchased by B. and K. Hill of Carpendeit, Victoria.
The “Action” daughter is out of Bushlea Brook Fernleaf, a champion at both the International Dairy Week and the Melbourne Royal Show. She is appraised VHC 92 in Australia and has three lactations over 8,000 liters (about 18,000 lbs.) milk. “Brook Fernleaf ” is sired by Molly Brook Brass Major, JPI +20*.

New Reports Show Jerseys Continue to Remain Most Profitable The 2008 California DHI test data (including herds in California, Oregon and New Mexico) is in, and the American Jersey Cattle Association has analyzed the data. The reports provide a basis for comparing Holstein, Jersey and crossbred/ mixed breed cows. The information presented below can be used when talking with breeders interested in Jerseys. Production/cow on a rolling basis was converted to energy-corrected milk: Holstein was 23,596 pounds, Jersey was 20,596 pounds, and crossbreds were 22,059 pounds. l
For an efficiency measure, yield/pound body weight was calculated. It was 16.8:1 for Holstein, 20.6:1 for Jersey and 18.4:1 for crossbreds.
l
Jersey had an 8% lower herd turnover rate for 2008 compared to Holstein, and 4% lower than crossbreds.
l
Jersey has advantages in (shorter) calving interval of 22 days compared to Holstein, and 13 days compared to crossbreds.
l
Jersey has advantages in (fewer) days open of 26 compared to Holstein, and 16 compared to crossbreds.
